Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

The Broncos have two OL on IR and two on PS. Then there's free agency and the draft. If it is possible to upgrade the starting unit or the quality of depth, I'm sure they will do it.
One thing I have noticed about the Broncos' run blocking is that besides zone and assignment blocks (i.e., base, base away, drive, down, double down, double down chip, reach, scoop, GTO, pull to Trap, lead, seal, kickout), they use a lot of influence and release to the second level (a la Frank Leahy's T-Formation O).
The blocking they do is very sophisticated even by NFL standards and is a tribute to Dave Magazu's coaching. Sometimes the influence and release is backside which done at the HS level. However, I have noticed that sometimes they influence and release playside which is, to me, rare. If a defender is shooting that gap, it may look like a missed block, but may not be.
Peyton Manning uses a lot of play action passes. The Broncos' OL does a good job of taking run steps at the beginning of PAP which does a good job of freezing the D, especially the Backers. However, again, if a defender is shooting a gap, it may look like a breakdown in pass pro, but really isn't. The Bucs' D, last Sunday, tried to show the same basic look, but accomplished penetration for TFL with line stunts, especially pinch and slant.

On the particular play in question Ramirez swung in to play zone ignoring a player who swung out, but Koppen had already managed to sweep the DT Ramirez came into help leaving him doing nothing as the defender came in behind him
In this case it was either a bad scheme, a failed assignment or a missed block. Either way it was bad, and the truth is the most common break down in our scheme comes from Ramirez.
